Experience Next-Level Privacy with Sekur Private Data Ltd.’s (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) SekurVPN: The World's First Big Tech-Free, Swiss-Based VPN

Sekur Private Data, Ltd.

In today's digital age, where online privacy is increasingly under threat, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) offers a powerful solution to safeguard your online identity and secure your data from prying eyes. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that creates a secure and encrypted connection over the internet, allowing users to browse the web privately and anonymously. It does so by routing the user's data through a remote server, masking the user's IP address and encrypting their online traffic. VPNs are widely used for various purposes, such as protecting sensitive data, bypassing geo-restrictions, and maintaining online privacy. They are particularly useful for individuals and businesses that need to secure their communications and personal information from hackers, cybercriminals, and unauthorized access. As internet privacy concerns continue to grow, VPNs have become an essential tool for safeguarding one's online activities and ensuring a safe and secure browsing experience. Growth Outlook For the Global VPN Market The horizon for virtual private networks (VPN) in the global market is looking exceedingly bright. With a staggering market size of $48.94 billion in 2022, the VPN industry is predicted to reach an awe-inspiring $358.64 billion by 2032, with a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.04% between 2023 and 2032. This phenomenal surge is a testament to the escalating need for impregnable and secluded internet connections, alongside the mounting menace of cyberattacks and data breaches. In terms of global revenue estimates, the VPN market is projected to experience substantial growth during this period. The market, which was estimated at $44.6 billion in 2022, is expected to reach a revised size of $137.7 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 15.1% over the analysis period from 2022 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of VPNs across various industries and regions, as well as the ongoing advancements in VPN technology and services. Sekur Private Data Launches New, Innovative SekurVPN Product That Swaps Big Tech For Private Swiss IPs, and Includes its Proprietary HeliX Technology With Military-Grade Encryption Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) has introduced SekurVPN, a groundbreaking privacy-oriented VPN solution that operates independently of big tech companies and is hosted in Switzerland.

SekurVPN's pricing is set at $7 per month per user or $70 per year per user, with various currency options available. SekurVPN stands out by not relying on Big Tech or Hyperscaler hosting, assuring that there are no bundled third-party services and preventing data leaks. It does not monitor user traffic, and registration does not require a phone number. The VPN employs its proprietary infrastructure and exclusively provides Swiss IPs, ensuring user data is not shared with external service providers. SekurVPN securely directs all internet traffic through its private servers in Switzerland, incorporating top-tier encryption standards and its proprietary HeliX technology. Each connection has unique encryption keys, keeping users' passwords, sensitive data, and internet usage encrypted even on untrusted public networks. With a simplified user interface, SekurVPN is easy to set up and deploy. Users simply tap or click to establish a connection.

COMCAST LAUNCHES SPEEDS FASTER THAN A GIG IN DEMING, PORTALES, AND TAOS

Comcast New Mexico

Comcast announced today internet speeds up to 1.2 Gbps (1,200 Mbps) are now available via the Xfinity 10G Network to nearly 20,000 homes and businesses in Deming, Portales, and Taos, New Mexico. These new speeds are available to new and existing customers. With the launch of new, faster speeds, Comcast, the nation’s largest provider of Gigabit internet, will provide internet options ranging from 50 Mbps to 1.2 Gbps, together with video, mobile, voice, home security and management products, and other products and services geared to local businesses. In addition, Xfinity Internet customers who lease a gateway will have access to Comcast’s next-generation cyber protection, xFi Advanced Security, that automatically detects and blocks of cyber threats like malware, providing peace of mind to consumers and businesses. “Comcast is committed to connecting more people to what matters most to them,” said Chris Dunkeson, Area Vice President, Comcast. “We’re excited to bring additional internet options to consumers and businesses on our fast, reliable, secure network. Whether it’s for work, school, or entertainment, our fiber-rich, gigabit network is built to meet the needs of tomorrow - today.” Comcast also is addressing digital equity in the communities we serve through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion dollar commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. In the last three years, Comcast has invested more than $13.5 million in more than 75 nonprofit and community organizations across New Mexico. Additionally, Comcast will continue to bring affordable, high-speed internet to low-income households through Internet Essentials. In over 10 years, the program has connected more than 10 million Americans, including 412,000 New Mexicans. Comcast also proudly participates in the federal Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides a subsidy of up to $30 per month –up to $75 per month in tribal areas—to pay for Internet service, covering the full cost of both Internet Essentials (50/10 Mbps) and Internet Essentials Plus (100/20 Mbps) for eligible households. Interested customers can visit Xfinity.com/ACP or call 1-800-Xfinity to learn more about this program and find out if they qualify. -More- Powered by the Xfinity 10G Network Comcast’s network and Internet experience are powering homes today and into the future: Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect nearly 1 billion devices across the company’s network annually. The Xfinity 10G Network with the next-generation Xfinity gateways deliver the most advanced WiFi technology carrying three times more bandwidth to power streaming, gaming, videoconferencing, and more, simultaneously. Fastest Internet: Comcast is the largest provider of Gigabit internet and about one third of Xfinity Internet customers subscribe to gigabit speed products. Unprecedented Coverage: The latest Xfinity Gateway provides a more reliable connection throughout the home. Customers can get wall-to-wall WiFi coverage with a powerful Xfinity WiFi Boost Pod that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas, with plans for an offering of increased support for in-home WiFi through a “boost guarantee” later this year. Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the nation’s largest and most reliable network – the Xfinity 10G Network – that passes 60 million homes and business and counting. The company plans to launch a new device that is “storm-ready” with cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes out. Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity 10G Network and the latest Xfinity Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most like video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households averaging more than one gaming console per home. For local businesses, Comcast Business offers a suite of connectivity, communications, networking, cybersecurity, wireless, and managed solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what’s next. Powered by the nation’s largest Gig-speed broadband network, and backed by 24/7 customer support, Comcast Business is the nation’s largest cable provider to small and mid-size businesses and one of the leading service providers to the Enterprise market.

BettingLadies.com Launches Sports Betting Industry’s First Affiliate, News and Content Site For All Sports, For Women - By Women

BettingLadies.com

BettingLadies.com, the first sports betting affiliate and content site for all sports written by women, for women, today announced it has officially launched its public-facing site. All content on the site is written, created and produced by women content creators to explicitly provide sports betting news, information, odds and statistics for women bettors of all skill levels. While most sites which target the women-bettor demographic segment their offering by exclusively discussing women’s sports, BettingLadies.com differentiates itself through the discussion of both women’s and men’s sports. This mixed approach to female-targeted content enables bettors to participate in and enjoy wagering opportunities around dominant leagues such as the NBA, NHL and MLB, while also embracing the emerging market of women’s sports betting. “The genesis of BettingLadies.com is about making sports betting more accessible for women. I looked for content to help educate myself as a bettor, but found the majority of resources were clearly created to be consumed by a male audience,” said Val C. Martinez, CEO and founder of BettingLadies.com. “Multiple studies have found that nearly a third of the betting market is women, however the opportunities for female-centric content have been limited. While there are women content creators in the market, I strategically saw whitespace and wanted to create a new space where bettors could consume content from like-minded female sports fans, as well as build a platform where female creators can find a voice in the emerging sports betting market.” Martinez brings more than 20-years experience as a banker and financial executive, leading large business groups in major financial institutions, to her role as founder of BettingLandies.com. In addition to daily news from the sports world and daily betting lines, BettingLadies.com currently hosts the following signature elements: BettingLadies.com Community - Sign up and meet, interact and discuss betting with like-minded women. Lady Locks - Daily videos provide insights and betting information on the day’s biggest sporting events. Betting Guides - Educational videos, tutorials and how-to’s for all betting skills from beginners to the advanced. Tarot Reading - A fun free-to-play game for users to get their fortune on different sports betting experiences. The site’s most noted content creator is a professional wrestler and sports broadcast talent Danielle Kamela. In addition to writing for BettingLadies.com, Kamela creates the site’s signature digital asset, the daily “Lady Locks” series, which posts to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. “What drew me to working with BettingLadies.com was Val’s vision to create an approachable, judgement free and inclusive community, built on educating and supporting the growth of women bettors across the country,” Kamela said. “As a fan and bettor of all sports, Lady Locks provides me the opportunity to be flexible in the content I create, moving seamlessly from NBA to MLB games and NFL games in the fall. I’m excited about the future of this site and giving a voice to women bettors.” In addition to Kamela, BettingLadies.com has plans to expand to more than a dozen featured personalities in the coming months. “Beyond the launch, our goal is to evolve BettingLadies.com to be synonymous with the betting experience for women. We’ll soon begin creating in-person regional betting events based on the growth of our community,” said Martinez. “We’re continually looking for new affiliate partners, as well as voices and creators, to scale and expand our content to new mediums, social platforms and sports. As a true first mover in this category, we see nothing but potential for the future of women sports bettors.” To learn more about the site and to sign up for the BettingLadies.com betting community, please visit BettingLadies.com. ABOUT BETTINGLADIES.COM BettingLadies.com is the first sports betting affiliate and content site written by women, for women.

Bloomfilter Raises $7 Million in Seed Round Led by Magarac Venture Partners

Bloomfilter

Bloomfilter, a process intelligence platform for software development, announced the closing of a $7 Million seed round of capital. The funding included $5.5 Million of equity financing led by Magarac Venture Partners (“MVP”) with participation from Sequoia, HPA, North Coast Ventures, Techstars, and others, alongside $1.5 Million of venture debt from Pacific Western Bank. Bloomfilter also announced the general availability of its industry-first process intelligence platform to help software teams improve the transparency, predictability, and efficiency of developing new software products. “We are thrilled to lead this investment in Bloomfilter. This is an exceptional team that’s tackling a massive and pervasive problem in software development,” said Mike Stubler, Partner at MVP. “MVP is investing in fast-growing companies building AI solutions for business process automation. Bloomfilter fits that thesis perfectly by applying process mining to software development.” Businesses rely on software development to solve problems and deliver a better user experience. However, software development projects are notorious for missing deadlines and budget estimates. Research shows that 65% of software projects are either challenged or fail, while 70% of software projects are delivered late, over budget, or are not delivered to the original specifications. Bloomfilter’s patent-pending process mining and predictive algorithms help software development teams identify bottlenecks in the development process, objectively predict project outcomes, and deliver software on time and within budget. “We believe that software development is a business process that can be measured and improved like any other. By enabling that improvement, Bloomfilter is ushering in a new era of transparency, predictability, and efficiency in the software industry. We are excited to partner with MVP and others to make this vision a reality,” said Andrew Wolfe, co-founder and co-CEO of Bloomfilter. “The process mining ecosystem is growing at 78% annually because the technology helps customers understand and improve complicated business processes,” added Erik Severinghaus, co-founder and co-CEO of Bloomfilter. “We are pleased to bring to market the first process mining solution purpose built to support the business process of software product development.” In addition to the capital raise, the company has announced that the platform is generally available following a successful Beta program. “The Bloomfilter platform has fundamentally changed the nature of our conversations with the product development organization,” said Myron Schram, VP of Product at Intrusion and one of Bloomfilter’s beta customers. “For the first time, we have alignment and understanding from our Board presentation all the way to the daily standups for our developers.” As part of the round, Michael Keithley, CIO at UTA, another beta customer, will join the Board of Directors. “Having seen the power of the platform to transform the software development lifecycle firsthand, I was honored to be asked to join the Board and help the company grow,” Keithley said. “For 30 years, I have been asked the questions, ‘What are we building, when will we get it, and how much does it cost?’ Bloomfilter is the first platform that lets me answer those questions easily and accurately.” “Process Mining has the potential to be a game-changer for product development,” remarked Andy Thurai, principal analyst at Constellation Research. “We are excited to watch what Bloomfilter is building.” The Bloomfilter platform will also partner with consulting companies to help customers assess and improve their development process. “We are thrilled to partner with Bloomfilter to include the platform in our leading advisory practice for improving software development efficiency and outcomes,” said Choon Aun Quek, executive vice president at Softserve, a leading digital and IT advisory. The financing will allow the company to accelerate product development, customer success, and go-to-market activities. To learn more, visit the Bloomfilter blog.

The platform helps organizations develop a shared understanding of what the product team is building, when it will be delivered, and how much it costs.
